Is there any possibility that Max Verstappen will become a five-time champion this year?

Honestly, I don't think so. Even though he wins all three of the last races (Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi), plus the Qatar sprint, he will score a maximum of 424 points. If Lando come second in all, he will score 451 points. I don't believe Max will win them all, nor do I believe Lando will be left off the podium. It's easier to Lando will them all than for Max. McLaren has an excelent car in the corners, and it was clearly sharp when Lando's overtaking maneuever Max yesterday on Brazil. But Max still managed to climb though a peloton (He started 19th on the pits and almost came in second), although Max needed to slow down in corners, while Lando was cornering with ease. I didn't even include Oscar Piastri, because his performance dropped a bit and he was unfairly penalized yesterday; otherwise, he would also be far behind Max, risking finishing second in the São Paulo race.
